If so, you could have a shop drill some extras. It's been done before. And if it will work, it's far cheaper than buying more.

Call, CMI and order a set of the new GEN X version Sporttube headers drilled for the Mercury Racing exhaust bolt pattern. Should look and work just great and give the engine its original look!

The problem is space... If we use the Gen "X" headers and we use the standard ones on the for and aft engines? or do we have to go for custom made on the forward engine?
As I said space is the issue here as well as cost, at the moment we only have 1/2 inch between the header and a 45 gal fuel tank and dont want to be boiling fuel when it costs $11.50 a gal in the UK
Also Stainless marine make a cast manifold does anyone know if they fit a 600 SCI
Thanks
